Firstly I did it in this huge theatre in Avignon, then to smaller places, then bigger places. You have to change the volume of the voice, give more or less. The way you have to relate to space makes it like sculpture.
~By Isabelle Huppert ~
We have made mistakes. In our haste to do all things for all people, we did not foresee the full consequences of our actions. And when the people raised their voices, we didn't hear. But our deafness was only a temporary condition, and not an irreversible condition.
~By Barbara Jordan ~
My voice is my improvisational instrument, the melody instrument. The guitar is harmonic structure. I'm not a good enough guitarist to improvise on it.

~By Cab Calloway ~
It was very hard to get any records, so the only source for us to really hear what was happening was listening to the Voice of America. We would be taping all the broadcast and then sharing the tapes and talking about it.
~By Jan Hammer ~

~By Junichiro Koizumi ~

~By Chris Brown ~

~By John Kricfalusi ~
I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't.
~By Audre Lorde ~
The writer in western civilization has become not a voice of his tribe, but of his individuality. This is a very narrow-minded situation.

~By Waylon Jennings ~
I was always talking in weird voices from the time I was two. I guess I just found a way to keep doing it! I did get a degree in theater and took some voice-over classes... but most of it is just the same stuff I was doing as a kid!
~By Grey DeLisle ~
I'm sure any vocal teacher that listens to me would rather cut my throat than do anything - I do everything all wrong - but I think for me that's the best - because I don't think I have a voice so I think what I project would be style - if I learned to sing I'd lose my style.
~By Julie London ~
I have no inhibitions about smoking or drinking, but I think too much of my voice to place it in jeopardy. I have spent many good years in training and cultivating it, and I would be foolish to do anything which might impair or ruin it.

~By Spencer Tracy ~
My mother gave me singing lessons; that was totally painful, because I couldn't do what she wanted to hear. She used to say: there's more there, there's more voice but I just didn't want to give it to her.
~By Linda Lavin ~
The instrument that I never learned how to play was my fans. You know, they are the part of the story that nobody teaches you. I just want to do the right thing; I want to be a voice with them, among them.
~By Lady Gaga ~
In the second installment, I pretty much dominate the show. Somehow or another, though, I manage to apparently dominate the first show pretty well with just my voice and my hands and a shot of my boots kicking cartridges out of the way.
~By David Carradine ~
Being Poet Laureate made me realize I was capable of a larger voice. There is a more public utterance I can make as a poet.
~By Rita Dove ~
Some of the best actors in the world are very exterior actors, Anthony Hopkins being one of them. He knows exactly how to turn his face to get a certain expression. He knows exactly what to do with eyes, and with his voice. It's very exterior.
~By Boris Kodjoe ~
The Black Mountain poet I like most is the early Creeley. Those early poems seem very lyrical and very traditional, with a lot of voice and character.
~By Robert Morgan ~
If you have an opportunity to use your voice you should use it.

Walt gave me a VIP tour of the studio. I remember people doing voices.
~By Paul Winchell ~

~By Kathy Mattea ~

~By Martha Gellhorn ~
I don't know many singers who actually do like the sound of their own voice.

~By Johnny Mathis ~

~By Andrew Young ~

~By Pablo Neruda ~
Some scenes you juggle two balls, some scenes you juggle three balls, some scenes you can juggle five balls. The key is always to speak in your own voice. Speak the truth. That's Acting 101. Then you start putting layers on top of that.
~By John Burroughs ~
An organization which claims to be working for the needs of a community - as SNCC does - must work to provide that community with a position of strength from which to make its voice heard. This is the significance of black power beyond the slogan.
~By Stokely Carmichael ~
You would give up your career if you lost your voice for good, or if the impresarios stopped calling, or the audiences stopped coming. But as long as those things are there, I don't plan to stop. There is nothing that makes me feel better than to be with my public.
~By Celia Cruz ~
It totally ruins my voice. I quit smoking, drinking, and doing ecstasy.

~By Bryan Robson ~
I think this orchestra's strengths involve drama and voice.
~By James Levine ~
And the inner dynamics of Hollywood are like politics. Say you give a script to a group of executives - they all sit around, afraid to voice an opinion, saying nothing, waiting to know what the consensus is. Just like focus groups, opinion polls or a cabinet.
~By Joe Eszterhas ~
It's a dead give away of an inexperienced writer if every character speaks with the same voice.
~By Colleen McCullough ~
With a theatre audience there's always the additional sense of a sustained challenge of which I'm acutely aware and for which you need to have the tools ready - your voice, physicality, brain.
~By Greta Scacchi ~
This is my first visit to Africa, a region where President Bush has voiced a deep passion for fostering and encouraging economic development, investment and trade.
~By Donald Evans ~
It is not the intelligent woman v. the ignorant woman; nor the white woman v. the black, the brown, and the red, it is not even the cause of woman v. man. Nay, tis woman's strongest vindication for speaking that the world needs to hear her voice.
~By Anna Julia Cooper ~
Photography is a small voice, at best, but sometimes one photograph, or a group of them, can lure our sense of awareness.
~By W. Eugene Smith ~

~By Sydney Schanberg ~
It's funny, I get really nervous when I audition for voiceovers.
~By Julie Benz ~
Each Warrior wants to leave the mark of his will, his signature, on important acts he touches. This is not the voice of ego but of the human spirit, rising up and declaring that it has something to contribute to the solution of the hardest problems, no matter how vexing!
~By Pat Riley ~
My voice is stronger today than ever.
~By Shania Twain ~
Without a sense of place the work is often reduced to a cry of voices in empty rooms, a literature of the self, at its best poetic music; at its worst a thin gruel of the ego.
~By William Kennedy ~
I have had fans make me the big picture collages of the photo books; I have had fans send me birthday cakes... sing to me on my voicemail. I have had fans flash me. I have had older fans give me their bras and underwear onstage.
~By Puff Daddy ~

~By Edwidge Danticat ~

~By Joe Mantegna ~

~By Dan Castellaneta ~
The reason my voice is sounding more passionate is because I'm singing directly from the heart.

~By Caroline B. Cooney ~
We lived within two hundred yards of the sea, and its voice was in our ears night and day.
~By Edward Carpenter ~
The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience.
~By Mohandas Gandhi ~
Up until, really, Roosevelt, African-Americans largely voted ninety per cent Republican. That was the political origins, that's what their political voice was in the Republican party. During that history, that last sixty or seventy years of history, the Republican party effectively walked away from the community. They were afraid to really embrace civil rights even though they embraced civil rights legislation. And so it's not enough to just to put it on paper, you gotta actually show up and be in the community, and understand what that struggle was really about.
